Since Holy Mass is a renewal of
the Sacrifice of the Cross, it follows that Holy Mass is the most sublime means
of honoring God and richest fountain of grace and blessings for the Church and
for the faithful. A spiritual writer says: "Just as the sun surpasses all
other planets in brightness and strength, and brings more benefit to the earth
than all the stars combined, so the Sacrifice of the Mass surpasses all other
works of devotion."
